I can't see your face Bev and I can't hear the tone of your voice. Are you telling me you were joking? I was heartily offended yesterday after Obama repeated it several times [so it wasn't a mistake] and I would think, a great many other people would have been too.

Yes Caz and I was posting from an ipod, so not so good with smiley faces and the such (on laptop now, therefore quicker) but thought you might have got my wicked sense of humour from other posts that I have made - my bad!

Obama isn't the 1st that's done this and probably won't be the last. I like to wind the Kiwi's up at work by saying that NZ is part of Australia, like Tasmania, isn't it? Usually when they refer to me as a pomme or immigrant.

Yep agree that Obama needed to remember that he might have been in England but he was there visiting Britain But typical foreign mistake, even if it seems worse as he's a head of State.However, while when describing myself to fellow Brits I say I'm Scottish, I'm proud to be British and yeah, you don't get English, Scottish or Welsh passports, you get British!
